Poll Names 2027 Presidential Challenger as Politicians Discuss Election Issues - December 2025

A recent Infotrak poll conducted between December 19 and December 20 indicates Fred Matiang'i is President Ruto's closest challenger for the 2027 presidential race, although 31 per cent of Kenyans remain undecided. On party politics, Suna East MP Junet Mohamed declared that only ODM party leader Oburu Odinga is constitutionally allowed to declare a presidential candidacy for the party. Mohamed also alleged former President Uhuru Kenyatta is funding dissent within ODM. Separately, Health CS Duale countered claims by Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi that the 2027 general elections could be nullified, clarifying that a September 2025 Supreme Court advisory did not fully address the boundary review issue due to the IEBC lacking a proper constitution.
